Album Art Downloader XUI

Hmm... could be a tricky one, I can't see any way of searching for a specific artist and album at the same time, which makes it harder. Once the page for the album is found, it wouldn't be hard to get the images for it though. I'm off on holiday for a week now, so won't be able to take a look at this until later.

I've used a few times the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool to repair corrupted .NET installations with success. I don't know if it will help with WIC problems but it's worth a try if everything else fails.

Thanks for the suggestion but no joy.I ran the clean up app which removed .Net from my system.I then did a fresh install of .Net 3.5This time AAD just crashed (error below).

Just to be sure I tried installing WIC again but the same error about me having a later version came back.

This is comfirmed by WIC.log (below).I am guerssing that XP SP3 contains a non-uninstallable version of WIC 6.3.4.0 and this is incompatible with AAD

@spile:I can confirm that the AAD error log is indicating the same problem. Is anyone else running AAD successfully on XP SP3? If so, it would be really useful to know the version number of C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsCodecs.dll that you have!

@vagskal:Here's a script for 45cat to try out: 45cat.boo. It doesn't look like 45picturesleeves.com has a search function, and I don't really fancy writing one for them. LP art is probably niche enough that two scripts are enough anyway :-)

The search I'm using for 45cat is just "artist name" "album name". According to the instructions on the advanced search page, using quotes should make it search for the phrase, but I don't really see any evidence of that, unfortunately. I don't understand how some of the results it's returning are chosen at all!

Chartstats is working fine for me, maybe it was a temporary problem? Or the specific thing you were searching for?

Thanks for these! I've got hold of a Win XP CD and tried it out on a fresh blank virtual machine. After installing SP3 and .Net 3.5 through Windows Updates, I have WindowsCodecs.dll v6.0.6001.17009 too. I don't know how mobyduck got a newer version, but can you check what version you have, Spile?

Oh, nice find! It's got to be worth having a go at downloading and installing that, Spile. If it's newer than the version you've got, it might overwrite your broken installation with a new one, which might then work. That's a lot of 'might', but not a lot of other ideas going around at the moment.
